It would appear that the root directory of your project contains no files. Can
you do

svn log -v file:///home/rajulocal/src/repos

to see if perhaps the files were deleted in some revision? You can also do

svn info file:///home/rajulocal/src/repos

to see what information the subversion client is able to extract from the
repository. In particular, this will tell you the overall revision number of
the repository.

Can you show us the full output of this command?

I do not know what is happening here. If you send more information, perhaps we
can figure it out.
